TRADE CHECKER?

[Albino]

who is that trade checker who get my items?.. is that an admin coz they blocked me in playing dota 2?... can i get my item back?

No such thing as "trade checker/item validator", it's a scam.

If you already fell for it, you're out of luck as Valve won't return scammed items.

Look at the bright side, at least now you know your items were “clean”, “not bugged”, and “not duped”.

Now your account is hijacked looking at your profile - it wasn't like this when you posted the message but sounds like the damage was done regardless and now it's truly in effect. What a pickle.

There is NO such thing as...

1) Item verification.

2) Trade checking.

3) Pending ban reports.

4) Employees that contact you for any of the above mentioned things.

As it seems, your current account may have now been hijacked.

You'll need to...

[ 1 ] Scan for malware: https://www.malwarebytes.com/

[ 2 ] Deauthorize all devices: https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

[ 3 ] Change your password on a secure device.

[ 4 ] Generate new back up codes.

[ 5 ] Revoke any active Web API key: https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

were you using any third party trading or gambling sites? a member of any groups affiliated with those kinds of sites? share your account with anyone? click on any random links people sent you?

all common avenues for such an issue

and that is most likely why you were targetted.. people look at the people who use those sites and go "yep, easy target"

if you want to trade in the future, do it within Steam.. all Steam games have a subform specifically for trading
